Fuschia colored mirabilis in India

These are the second year of this plant. They came back from tubers and are currently about 6 feet tall. June 19th, 2002.

Each flower contains a single seed. Place a big container (like the lid of a trashcan) under the plant and then shake the branches. Giggle in delight as its rains seeds into your container.

These are extremely invasive re-seeders! Oofta!

These were grown from seed and they are 4-month old, blooming in Rockledge, Florida (32955). This photo shows 2 flowers from the back. It was taken indoors under artificial light near midnight when the flower opens the most. Fine mist spray added to enhance the depth of field and the contrast.

Mirabilis can also be grown inside but they don't look very pretty if they don't get enoguh light ;) Mine started blooming after I took it inside, as the weather outside began getting colder. It is still doing fine after a month and produced two seeds as well :}

These red, yellow, magenta and broken colored blooms on different plants which form a huge clump.

Too big for it's spot. Size comparison to a 45 lb standard poodle. Great if you have the room.
